What is the definition of ceramic?
The literal definition is clay and chemicals fired together to create a hard brittle heat resistant material
Based on these pieces of pottery found in the Grand Canyon National Park would you describe pottery as a malleable or a brittle material?
The brittle pottery that has not been fired is called green ware. Ceramics need to be fired before they will harden into a material that is less easily broken.
Why do ceramics break easily?
In my concern ceramic materials are very strong materials which are not allow even small deformation
What is firing clay?
Firing clay is when a clay is fired in a kiln, this is to make the clay stay strong.
What is clay slab?
a clay slab is a slab made of clay
Can baked clay be recyled?
No, baked clay can't be recycled because it becomes very hard when baked, and it is very brittle to recycle it after.
Are non-metals brittle?
yes,nonmetals are brittle and cannot be rolled into wires or pounded into sheets +++ Not at all. Synthetic plastics are non-metals, and while some are indeed brittle others are, well, plastic by the true definition of that term! Clay is a natural plastic, and not considered a metal although the clay-forming minerals include complex compounds of metals. Wood is not metallic - but that's not brittle unless dried completely.

Why doesn't a bowl fall apart?
Sometimes it does if it is brittle enough. If you have a clay bowl, and you let the sun over dry it, it will fall apart.
Why does clay change when it becomes hard and brittle?
Clay changes when it becomes hard and brittle due to water evaporation during the drying process. As water evaporates from the clay, the particles come closer together, causing the material to shrink and harden. This process is essential for shaping and firing clay to create ceramics.
Which is the material that breaks easily?
A material that breaks easily is glass. Glass is brittle and can shatter into sharp pieces when subjected to stress or impact.

What is the similie to as brittle as?
As brittle as glass.
Is pottery a malleable or a brittle material?
Clay is malleable if there is water present in the clay body. As clay dries it goes through several stages. First is wet clay, which is very malleable. Second is what I call the cheese hard stage. It is still slightly bendable without cracking. Third is the leather hard stage. At this stage clay cannot be bent without cracking but you can still add or subtract from the surface by carving or building up with wet clay. Fourth is the bone dry stage. At this point the clay is dry and can no longer be added upon or subtracted from. It can only be fired or reconstituted into wet clay. After firing, I'm sure you know that pottery is very durable.
How do you make polymer clay harder?
To make polymer clay harder, you can bake it in an oven according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the oven temperature is accurate and consistent throughout the baking process to prevent burning or cracking. Overbaking can cause the clay to become brittle, so it's important to follow the recommended baking time closely.
